After CD-Rom install-puter won't boot?! by
brane_ded
Hi,
I have an old Deskpro 4000/5133 16Mb Ram Win95a
In Windows it shows dual channel and dual fifo.
Bios shows IDE controller (embedded)
If I connect 12V and 5V connector-it will boot.
When I connect to secondary channel-it will not even start BIOS
screen, just some chatter from the HDD.
Thanks...
